Tops refers to the upper class of City's society. They appear in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime.

Etymology

Tops probably came from the word Top, meaning "high".

History

City's society is entirely competition based, where the "winners" stand to gain everything, and the "losers" stand to lose everything. The upper 1% of City's population is known as the Tops. They control 99% of the city's wealth, and live in a magnificent cityscape of highways, skyscrapers, villas, and even smaller metropolises that tower high above the slums the Commons, or the remaining 99% of the population, reside in. It is patrolled by Security, who will apprehend any Commons that are in Tops-exclusive areas without authorization. The Tops openly discriminate against the Commons, with the possible exception of Commons who are able to achieve great things and become Tops themselves, such as Jack Atlas, who won the Friendship Cup and became Duel King. [1]

During the Maiami Championship, Yugo and Zuzu Boyle were transported to a Tops-exclusive area by Zuzu's bracelet , where the two explained to each other their knowledge of the events that had transpired before they were discovered by Tops residents, prompting them to flee on Yugo's Duel Runner only to be forced into a Turbo Duel by Security.

Allusions to Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

  • In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Tops is an area of New Domino City that houses some of the richest people in New Domino. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Tops refers to the richest people themselves rather than just the place they live.
